Ken's Bio
Did Martha Coakley join the "Don't Snitch" crowd? She is responsible for fostering a cooperative witness program when it comes to crime in Massachusetts. The photos below appear to have developed an interesting scenario. Wouldn't prosecutors like Coakley be able to convince a grand jury that the woman (herself) in the photo was a liar in denying that she witnessed a crime?

Coakley aide and volunteer Michael Meehan (Obama Appointed Broadcasting Board of Governors) walking aggressively toward reporter John McCormack of the Weekly Standard as McCormack was trying to ask a question to Massachusetts Attorney General (D)Martha Coakley. The question pertained to Afghanistan and her remarks in last Monday night's debate against Republican Scott Brown for the US Senate.

Attorney General Martha Coakley (left) watches as her aide Michael Meehan stands over Weekly Standard reporter John McCormack who insists Meehan shoved him into a rail and to the ground.
Watch the rail and the two people in front of it toward the left side of the screen. You can hear Meehan's hand strike McCormack and then you hear the rail get knocked over from the shove. Meehan is then heard demanding ID from victim McCormack.
In today's Boston Herald, Coakley gave a statement:
Coakley said she is not “privy” to the facts surrounding the incident involving reporter John McCormack last night, who wrote about the episode outside the Sonoma restaurant in Washington, D.C. in an online dispatch titled: “We Report, We Get Pushed.” The Wall Street Journal reported the Coakley fund-raiser at the Sonoma restaurant in Washington, D.C. was put on by health care industry lobbyists.

For Those of us over 40 this was a Sgt. Schultz Moment or for you Gen X & Above Coakley's latest Officer Barbrady Moment. "Move along people there's nothing to see here."

Coakley, of course, was the only candidate in the Democratic primary who regularly used trackers (stalkers), sending campaign aides to her opponents' events to videotape everything they said.
"It's something that good, organized campaigns do," Coakley told the Globe in October. Tomato Tomahto

What kind of country do I live in where this happens and most people are not outraged??? This behavior must never be tolerated and it would have made Martha Coakley look BETTER if she were to condemn this incident herself. Whose interest is she representing if not a simple/ common man on the street? I do not think she will be good for the people of the state of Mass. (or any other state). The only word that comes to mind when I see this kind of incident is "elitists"
